Can a Linux computer receive scanned images from a scanner using WSD (Web Services on Devices)?
Background:
At my work we have an Epson WP-4545 printer, and the printer part works fine from Linux, but for scanning, we can chose between "to usb-memory", or "to computer (WSD)", the 2nd option works fine with windows (borrowed a windows computer to try), but we Kubuntu and Gentoo.
-
Is there some program, or tool, that I can install to be able to receive image to the Linux computers, too?
-
Are there other names for WSD? googleing on WSD or "Web Services on Devices" didn't give much information at all.
-
Or, maybe there some other reasons for why I can't find any information, like copyright laws and patents?
